Google runs out of servers
Wednesday, July 6th, 2011I think I got my google+ invite. I think. When clicking on the link I got the dreaded “exceeded capacity” message from google.
Google.
Really?
I think I got my google+ invite. I think. When clicking on the link I got the dreaded “exceeded capacity” message from google.

So I decided to try for a google+ invite. Went to one site that said to post and ask for an invite and users on the site who have them will send you one. Seems to me I did this at the same website when I got my gmail invite. Couldn’t post. Page errored out. numerous times.
Some other page made you jump through hoops, ‘course they were just link bait. Thanks d-bags. I’ve already removed all the hoops. Feeping d-bags.
ambled on over to the parallels site to register the software.
much to my suprise i was unable to order it. the site was broken for firefox (who doesn’t make their site compatible with firefox?). i filled out the order form but there was no “next” or “submit” button. i managed to find it cleverly hidden on the web page and finally clicked to the page where i could chose payment. usually i pick paypal if the options is available. but when it got to the page that would re-direct you to paypal, but button was non-existent there was text there but nothing clickable.
so i decided to start the whole process over again this time using the firefox extension ie tab. the “next” buttons showed up, but when i chose the payment method again, it said thanks for your order and gave me an order reference number. no redirect to paypal.
ok, i’ll just leave feedback tell them a few things are broken. turns out you need your key before you can get “free email support” there was an option to leave feed back if you weren’t a customer, but they took down fewer details. the email will probably get lost in the shuffle.
because it mishandled the paypal payment option so badly i’m hesitant to actually use my credit card to order… if i don’t hear from them soon, i’ll try that out. i don’t actually expect that to work either.
